its only been 9 days, I think people are sick of me being sad and crying. God, Im 63 years old, my dad was 89. he couldn't live forever, I should have expected this, I did expect this. He died as he wanted to, at home, with his family all around. But my sister and brother has each other nearby and all the family, I feel alone, depressed and I go back and forth between being ok and then crying again...

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I am so sorry you lost your dad. I'm also sorry that I did not see your post more soon. What you are going through is completely normal for grief. Everyone who is grieving goes through stages and depression and crying is one of them. The crying will help you get through it. It changes our chemistry to feel better eventually. The stages are disbelief, bargaining, anger, depression and acceptance. Most people go through most of them and not in that order necessarily. I lost my dad, too, and I am still grieving somewhat many years later. It isn't as bad as it was at first, it gets better as time goes on. One day you will have your good memories of him in a little picture album in your mind that you can go through and smile about. God bless you.
